OnePlus, once known for its ‘flagship killer’ smartphone models, isn’t the same company anymore. Deviating from its usual path of releasing just two ‘affordable flagships’ every year, the company, in 2019-20, diversified into several new segments; televisions, wearable audio and budget smartphones. OnePlus intends to follow a similar path this year and recently added one more segment to its repertory; fitness trackers. Say hello to OnePlus’ newest product; the One Plus Band. As of February 5, 2021, the OnePlus Band is exclusively on sale only in one country; India.

Like its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is an extravagant offering that brings together the best possible features in an Android smartphone. However, this year is slightly different – Samsung has decided to tone down on cramming in the latest and the greatest, but rather, took steps to refine what was already good. The idea seems to be to edge the phone closer towards perfection and offer a refined, ultra-premium flagship smartphone ownership experience.

The evolution of the smartphone display has been, well, quite interesting. First, there were smartphones with flat displays (which are still the norm, BTW). Then there was a time when curved displays were a thing – especially on several flagship-grade Android smartphones. Then came the era of the foldable displays which, as you know, is still in vogue. What could be the next big development in display tech? Are rollable displays going to be a thing? Well, that is exactly what we will investigate in this article.
